Description

Animal Connection of Texas is a grassroots group fighting to end animal suffering and abuse of all types. We are based in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, and are in our 24th year.

Some of our current campaigns include demos at several circuses each year (Circuses.com), Fur Free Friday (FurKills.com), Petland demos every Saturday at all five stores, tabling at numerous local events, vegan outreach, and more.

Founded in 1986, ACT has accomplished the following:
